This is part one of a 5 hour mix that started at 95 bpm and never got faster than 118bpm.  
A pure Weatherall masterclass in mixing indie dance, balearic beats and tripped out slo-mo at it's best.

We've taken the instrumentals from Real Live's 1996 underground classic 'The Turnaround' and got our blend on with some acapellas to give the album a new lease of life. As dope as the original album is, Larry O wasn't quite at the top level of New York rappers back then, but now you can hear the likes of Biggie, Kool G Rap, AZ, Raekwon, OC, Camp Lo and Lord Finesse do their thing over K-Def's beats.

TRACKLIST:
01. Biggie - Victory (Pop The Trunk blend) [Step One]
02. Super Cat ft Method Man - Scalp Dem (Real Live Shit blend) [Filthy Rich]
03. Lord Finesse - Return Of The Funkyman (The Gimmicks blend) [Filthy Rich]

08. Wu Tang - CREAM (All I Ask Of You) Blend [Filthy Rich]
09. OC - Times Up (Turnaround blend) [Step One]
10. Masta Ace - Top Ten List (Day You Die blend) [Step One]
11. Raekwon ft Ghostface - Criminology Is Money (Crime Is Money blend) [Filthy Rich]

For those of you unfamiliar with DJ Revolution, the man is a turntable god.
This is among my favourite of his mixes, mid-2000s I think... grabbed from a torrent years ago, dusted off for your listening pleasure.
Check the scratching/wordplay in the intro and you'll be hooked, trust me :-)

Summer 2019 saw LDS invited to launch the Nile Rodgers curated Meltdown Festival at the Southbank centre with a stage takeover on the terrace over looking the Thames. An absolute honour to have been invited and a real joy to perform for a audience that were well and truly up for it.

This is part 1 of the recordings with Oscar Kingsley at the controls.

I’ve been waiting to write a full blog post before I put up this mix from what is going to be my last festival appearance for some time, but its been difficult, given the circumstances we all find ourselves in, to fully engage, and although I’ve made a start there’s still more I’d like to say, so the post will have to wait a bit longer.

Its Easter weekend, so I think its about time I shared the mix – it was recorded on March 8th at the WOMADelaide festival, the centrepiece of my recent Australian tour, and was pretty much a perfect gig for me – environment, crowd, sound/set-up – featuring a jamboree of some old favourites alongside more recent releases / re-edits. There’s a strong Aussie representation, with tracks by Tame Impala, Confidence Man and Owl Eyes - a great new remix of ‘You And I’ by Late Nite Tuff Guy who also provides, along with Dr Packer, a number of reworks.

This was only a month ago, but how times have changed. Hope you’re keeping safe and coping during lockdown.
